Fox News
Dozens more former youth inmates are suing over alleged sexual abuse they say that they endured at Illinois detention centers, according to law officials.
The filings are packed with disturbing allegations that guards, teachers and counselors at multiple juvenile detention centers around the state sexually assaulted inmates between 1997 and 2013. Often the same perpetrators would assault the same children for months, sometimes offering to shorten their sentences or giving them snacks or extra free time in exchange for their silence, according to the lawsuits.
